JOSEPH C. MALLONEE, OF DENVER, COLORADO, ASSIGNOR- OF ONE-HALF TO BERT A. OWEN, OF DENVER, COLORADO.

BRACKET SAW-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,551, dated January 26, 1904.

Application filed April 18, 1903. Serial No. 153,287. (No model.)

l'o all whom, it puny concern:

Be it known that l, Josera C. MALLoNsE, a citizen of the United States, residing at l)en ver, in the county of Denver and State of olorado, have invented a new and useful Bracket Saw-Table, of which thel following is. a specification.

'lhis invention relates to certain improvements in scroll and gig saws, and more particularly to a work-supporting bracket or table therefor.

lhe object of the invention is to provide a simple., inexpensive, and efficient device of this character adapted to take the place of the ordinary tilting table and by means of which designs of various styles may be executed on curved or oval surfaces by simply moving the work over the head of the bracket.

lhe invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement ot' parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings. and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it. being understood that various changes in form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or saerilicing any of the advantages of this invention.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a scrollsaw frame, showing my improved work-sap porting bracket applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of thesame. Fig. 3 is a similar view of a modiilcd construction of table.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the ligu res of the drawings.

l designates a portion of a scroll-saw frame; 2, thesaw-carrying arms; 3, the saw, and4 my improved work-supporting bracket or table. .lhe bracket 4, which may be formed of wood, metal, or other suitable material, consists of a shank ."i, havinga rounded or spherical head (i, provided with a vertically-disposed slot or opening 7, in which the saw 3 rcciprocates when the machine is in operation. 'lhe rear end of the shank 5 is bent at right angles to struction of my device will be readily understood, and the operation thereof is as follows: ln applying the' bracket the arm 8 is placed in position on the bracket 12 and secured thereto by means of the bolt l0, after which the saw-blade is passed through the slot or opening in the spherical head and fastened in the usual manner to the ends of the supportingarms. The work is now placed on the spherical head 6, being supported by the hand, and any design may be executed by simply mov' ing the work over the surface of the bead and in contact with the saw tracing out the particular design previously delineated on the work.

ln Fig. 3 is illustrated a slightmodification of tbe structure embodying the same general principle of construction and ailording a single point of contact between the support and the work, so that the latter may be freely moved to any angular position required. ln this case the support is substantially conical in form, ail'ording a contraetml work-supporting area, so that the work may be freely moved.

By the use of this attachment l am able to execute various designs on coiwavo-convex surfaces which is impossible with the form of tilting tables in use at present, it being necessary to cutout the design in several sections and then fasten them together to form the completed sign.

While l haveI shown the bracket applied to a gig-saw, it may be applied with equally good results to hand-saws and various kinds of scroll-saws.

a .....tmwwwg l`l1e supporting-bracket may be removed b v simply unscrewing thel bolt and the ordinaigv tiltingl table substituted, if desired.

Having thus described the invention, what l claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. A work-support for scroll-saws having a substantially spherical head, the only projection from the sphere being that of a relatively `small suplaating-arm.

2. A work-sumiort for scroll-saws, comprising a lateiall vextemling arm or bracket provided with a substantially spherical head and means for securing the arm in position.

B. A work-suplwrt for scroll-saws comprising' a horizontally-disposed arm or bracket provided with a substantially spherical head havim,r a vertical slot or openim,r for the passage of a saw-blade` and means for detachably securing the arm in position.

4. A work -support for scrollsaws, comi BEST AVAILABLE COPY prisinga horizontally-d isposed arm or bracket. provided with a substantially spherical head havinga vertically-disposed metal-lined slot or opening for the passage of the saw, and means for (.letacliably securing` the arm in position.

5. A work support for vscroll saws` comprising an arm or bracket provided at one end with a substantially spherical head having' a vertically-disposed metal-lined slot or opening therein for the reception of the saw-blade, the opposite end of the arm being` provided with an angular extension having an openingr formed therein adapted to receive a securing means.

1n testimony that l claim the foregoing` as my own 1 have hereto aiiixed my signature in the presence ot' two witnesses.
